Game Insight, developers of many hit iOS games, have announced a brand new addition to their lineup of iPad strategy games with X-Mercs: Invasion. This turn-based strategy game puts players in control of a military scientific corporation that has one goal — to fight off an invasion of aliens set to conquer Earth and destroy the human race. X-Mercs: Invasion takes place in 2040, at a time when scientists discover a new natural resource, the energy-rich crystals known as “Advinite”. A massive conflict breaks out over this valuable new resource between the Red Dragon Union and North Atlantic Defense Alliance, leading to global devastation. In the middle of war, humanity faces a an alien invasion which forces them to create the Earth Council, an organization that orders that the war against the alien invaders will be fought by private military companies. In X-Mercs: Invasion, players will lead their own military campaign by making an army of mercenary soldiers, constructing a military base, and researching and converting alien technology into weapons to use against them. Additionally, Game Insight has also released the official trailer for X-Mercs: Invasion that can be seen below.

While there’s no specific release date, we’ll keep a close eye on X-Mercs: Invasion and any future developments on the game. If all goes well, we hope to see this turn based strategy game available on the App Store sometime this month.
